" Hi I'm Yvette Parish thanks for joining me at Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to apply the foundation, the different textures and the different styles to do so. So I apply a little bit of concealer. What I'm going to do is take that powder that we were talking about earlier in the press form and I'm going to take a brush and I'm just going to kind of grab some powder. I'm going to tap it in so that way the powder is in the brush. I'm going to apply it down in a downward motion because everyone has a little bit of hair on there face like peach fuzz and if you apply the powder like this you are going to make the hair stick up on the face. So we want to kind of push it all down. That makes sense. Does that make sense Anna Lucy? Yes. I'm just kind of going down If you notice I'm going over the eyebrows, I'm going over the eyelid, everything. You could use a loose powder that is great. It is equal. Loose powder would probably give you more coverage but is a little bit more messy and not as handy if you want to put it in your purse. Anytime I use a compact press powder I try to always use a brush cause once again it is more sanitary. "
